Chapter 637: Chapter 366 The Competition Begins, Enter Daxinganling_2
And during this time, they could go to the temporarily arranged camp for a brief rest.
Of course, there were actually very few people who really went to rest. Most of them stayed here, either busy forming teams or devising strategies.
But this had nothing to do with Ye Feng, who went directly to the resting place and began to comprehend the Space Transfer Rule.
This left those who wanted to come over and discuss the route map with Ye Feng, such as Chai Shi and the others, with wry smiles.
But they knew their own capabilities well, and no one dared to disturb Ye Feng. They could only discuss among themselves first, plan several routes, and then leave it to Ye Feng to decide.
Soon, two hours passed, and it was 11:30 AM; Ye Feng finally came out of the resting camp.
By this time, all contestants had arrived at the barracks and collected their gear; now, they were eating lunch in the cafeteria.
This was also their last chance to have a peaceful meal before the finals. The next time they would return was three days later.
When Ye Feng appeared in the cafeteria, he immediately attracted the attention of many. There was no helping it; Ye Feng was the hottest favorite himself.
Moreover, they had all watched Ye Feng’s combat videos, and his formidable combat power was indeed terrifying.
"Ye bro, we’ve saved a spot for you here," said Lu Tao, a Spiritual Superpowered Being, who spotted Ye Feng immediately and eagerly addressed him.
The rest of Yang City’s contestants saw this scene and couldn’t help but curse silently at the hypocrisy.
But they all showed their warmest smiles on their faces, each calling him "Ye bro" in turn, and many even ran over to greet him.
In the end, Ye Feng arrived at his seat, like the stars surrounding the moon.
"Alright, alright," Ye Feng said after sitting down. Someone immediately brought him lunch, and after eating a couple of bites, he spoke slowly and deliberately,
"The routes you’ve planned, bring them here for me to see."
Upon hearing this from Ye Feng, everyone was invigorated, and Chai Shi immediately spread out a map on the table in front of Ye Feng, saying,
"Ye bro, we’ve devised 5 routes for you to consider and see if any are suitable."
Ye Feng glanced at the paper map they presented, which showed 5 red lines marked on it.
Of course, the routes they selected were not the usual ones and wouldn’t consider terrain much. They were chosen based on the areas where Mutated Beings congregated.
It’s worth mentioning that the map provided by the military was color-coded with green, blue, purple, and red to represent the degree of danger.
Green represented safety; blue indicated a First Level Danger Zone with the presence of Fourth Order Mutant Animals.
Purple represented a Level 2 Danger Zone with the presence of Fifth Order Mutated Beings.
Red, on the other hand, was a Level Three Dangerous Area where one could encounter Sixth Order Mutant Beings.
All 5 routes had one thing in common: during their advancement, they would try to pass through those more dangerous areas as much as possible.
Each red line would cross at least three red zones and more than ten purple ones.
For any other team, this was downright suicidal, but with Ye Feng personally in charge of his team, the more dangerous it was, the greater the potential benefit.
After a glance, Ye Feng didn’t hesitate much and picked the most dangerous route, saying,
"We’ll take this Route 4! We aim to finish it within a day and a half, and then I’ll have to venture deep into Daxinganling alone."
"Roger that!" Chai Shi immediately responded, and the others clenched their fists in excitement.
After finishing lunch, Ye Feng led the team from Yang City directly to the northern wall of the barracks.
It was just the last 5 minutes before noon.
The wall was already crowded with contestants, all awaiting the moment when time was up to immediately set off.
At this moment, Su Yunxi, the person in charge of the final competition, also came up on the wall. Holding a loudspeaker, he spoke loudly,
"Everyone, the competition is about to begin. I’m sure you all have familiarized yourselves with the rules."
"Lastly, I just want to say, if you truly encounter an unbeatable adversary, please do not be reckless. Your participation in the finals means you are extraordinary. Scores are important, but your lives are even more important."
"And even if you don’t get a good ranking and can’t make it onto the list for the talent development program, don’t be discouraged,"
"As long as your performance is outstanding, there’s a great chance you’ll be placed on the reserve list, and you’ll have the opportunity to enter the official talent development program in the future."
After saying this, Su Yunxi let out a long sigh; he was actually under quite a bit of pressure.
Although it was hard to guarantee no casualties in this kind of live-fire exercise, and authorities even set a casualty quota, the situation inside Daxinganling was just too dangerous.
He was genuinely worried that these people, with their heads overheated, would venture too deep, so he wanted to cool their ardor in advance.
The contestants on the city wall listened and nodded silently, naturally cherishing their own lives.
Soon, the time reached 12 o’clock.
"Let’s go!"
No one knew who shouted, but then someone leaped down from the five-story-tall city wall and disappeared into the dense forest.
Where there was a first, there was a second; rapidly, one participant after another jumped off the wall, vanishing into the woods.
It wasn’t just these contestants springing into action; at the same moment, more than fifty armed helicopters took off from the military camp, advancing towards Daxinganling alongside the competitors.
A movement involving thousands of people naturally made a huge commotion.
Soon, the interior of Daxinganling echoed with the roars of beasts.
What followed were sounds of combat and thunderous explosions.
These noises naturally stirred up even more chaos; at the very least, all the Mutated Animals and Mutated Insects in the outer region were startled.
The ground forces were in fierce battle, while the armed helicopters in the sky were also far from idle, as many Mutated Bird Species ascended, swooping toward the fifty armed helicopters.
And the number of these Mutated Birds was anything but small, with at least two hundred of them, each no smaller than an armored transport plane.
The rescue team was not to be trifled with either; the fifty armed helicopters immediately opened fire, swiftly suppressing the flocks of birds.
Of course, these Mutated Birds that dared to approach the helicopters were at least Third Order, and the vast majority were Fourth Order.
The heavy machine guns on the helicopters could at most repel them and found it difficult to kill them outright.
It was at that moment that the doors of one of the armed helicopters suddenly opened, and instantly, hundreds of thick bolts of lightning shot out, swiftly clearing a vast expanse of the Air Domain.
Simultaneously, Sixth Order Prowess on the other armed helicopters also sprung into action.
Especially the Fire Attribute Superpower Users, their numbers being the highest, a vast array of fire rain, explosive flame spells, and fire beams appeared in the sky.
In just a matter of seconds, the entire flock of Mutated Birds was annihilated.
However, the expressions on the faces of the remaining contestants on the city wall were grave.
Because this meant that even rescue teams could not freely traverse the skies over Daxinganling.
And these were only Third and Fourth Order Mutant Animals; further into Daxinganling, facing Fifth and Sixth Order ones, even if they could be dealt with, the time consumed would certainly not be short.
In such circumstances, all they could rely on was self-rescue.
"We should also move out," said Ye Feng after watching the entire battle.
His tone was slightly heavy as well.
In fact, his spiritual power had already extended out earlier, "seeing" more of the situation than anyone else.
The Mutated Beings inside Daxinganling were far more numerous than he had previously imagined.
As time went on, there was a real risk of serious problems arising.
Before, his mindset was just to go through the motions and casually take first place.
But now, he truly planned to exert effort and kill as many Mutated Beings as possible, at least taking down those that were Sixth Order.
